How Data Centers Are Resetting the Election | Alabama Gov. Nominee Doug Jones Joins The Strategy Session
In red states and blue, voters aren't buying this push by big tech. And the issue is upending midterm races.

please keep fucking talking. I see more and more Doug Jones signs every day. No Republican is excited to vote for this imbecile and that gives me a tiny sliver of hope that turnout will be depressed enough and Doug’s anti-data center turn can peel away some moderates enough to make it close.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4h agoTuberville: "If we don't straighten out this country's voting and immigration system, we're not gonna make it. It's gonna be over. I'm gonna go back to Alabama and hey, we might build a 30-foot wall around our state."
Tuberville says Social Security is a “scam”. To use his response about the concerns communities have about data centers, “bullcrap”.
I believe you can see this guy slowly realizing where Schiff was going.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7h agoholy shit -- Schiff ties Trump's judicial nominees in knots by asking them who won the 2016 before *before* asking them who won in 2020, which results in them sounding like election deniers about Trump's victories!
In Bari Weiss' Free Press, Olivia Reingold reported from El-Sayed's watch party that "there were keffiyehs as far as the eye could see ... keffiyehs on heads, keffiyehs as belts, keffiyeh-printed phone cases." Not a single one made it into images from Reuters, a local ABC station, or Detroit News.
Today the New Mexico Truth Commission issued their first interim public report on their investigation into the Epstein case in New Mexico and Zorro Ranch. There is a long way to go & we will continue to stand with survivors. You can read the report here: static1.squarespace.com/static/6a075...
El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"
SHOUT OUT to Mike Luckovich: one of the all-time great political cartoonists. 🏆 With corporate media doing such a poor job in these most perilous of times, his work is more vital than ever! THANK YOU @mluckovich.bsky.social!!! 🙏
Senator Banks calls the Supreme Court’s decision not to change the law on birthright citizenship “the worst Supreme Court decision of my lifetime.” Keep in mind that he was born and lived his entire life under the legal interpretation of the 14th Amendment the Court kept in place.

ICE has now spent over $2.2 BILLION on purchasing 4 private prisons from CoreCivic, with the company banking half a billion dollars on the most recent sale. Of course, ICE will not actually operate these facilities; CoreCivic keeps the contracts to run these places for the foreseeable future.
Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
Matt Shuham@mattshuham.bsky.social · 22h agoDays before the death of Edwin Jeovanny Lopez Cornejo, ICE officials did not report the death of another man who’d been detained at Delaney Hall — because they had technically “released” him in the middle of a medical emergency, Rep. Rob Menendez (D-NJ) alleged. www.huffpost.com/entry/delane...

So that’ll be nearly $1 billion between sale and operations for 1600 beds.
Jon Collins@jcollins.bsky.social · 7h agoBreaking: CoreCivic has announced they've sold the 1,600 bed Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minn., to the U.S. through the Department of Homeland Security for $495.6 million. CoreCivic will still manage the facility, which is expected to start receiving ICE detainees this fall.
🚨 @adamsmith.house.gov & I want to remind YOU: In Jan 2027 MORE cruel cuts from '1 Big Beautiful Bill' begin: States must contribute to SNAP, cutting the program by BILLIONS. Medicaid is SLASHED by $1T & most people MUST re-certify 2x a year! The GOP are REPEALING healthcare & making US hungrier. 😡

Mike Rogers wants us divided. But there is so much more that unites us than sets us apart. The power is ours. This land was made for you and me.
Several Women’s March activists were arrested inside the U.S. Capitol after holding a vigil honoring people they say died following encounters with ICE. Their message was clear: “Abolish ICE.” #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

A reality in which a Palestinian citizen of Israel is assaulted and brutalized because he is Palestinian is one that no one can or should accept. Palestinians, like all people, must be able to go about their day without fearing for their lives. (4/4)
